Staying the Same.

Hiat Labib - Tuesday, October 30, 2012

It's always a treat to have a former parent or student pop in and give us an update about all the changes that have happened since their time at Forest Grove. Usually we expect change, welcome it even! However, every now and again we say good-bye to a student that we so dearly hope stays EXACTLY the SAME.

The first time I met Avery she ran into my classroom (filled with children much older than her, may I add) and started dumping my science experiment materials all over my uber tidy table. I looked up at Avery's mom and she said, "Good luck with this one, you'll need it".

I was immediately intrigued by my new fearless student and quite possibly the most aware parent I had come across in a while.

I have no intention of ever losing track of Avery, I'm sure I'll see her name in lights, on the news or quite possibly ruling the free world (today she serves as the inspiration for this simple blog post) but what I like to hear most about my crazy girl is not how she has changed, but rather for better or worse, how she has stayed the same.

High-fives to big personalities and brave moms...oh, and staying the same.
